I totally agree! Get......Rid......Of......Him........NOW! FFS.
we have so many players we can dispose of that if we did out rightly sold them all we'll have a loada cash to purchase players we need. Either way looks as we'll see miccoli again next season sorting out who his next team's gonna be loaned out to.

I believe that there were no willing clubs to pay for him (or anyone else for that matter). Even that €1,2M is better option than keep paying him wages and hope if someone would want to buy him. That's the reality of the current transfer market and there's not that many players in the squad now who could be sold with €10m+ fee. With the exception of Appiah everyone else was just shipped to anyone who was willing to take them.
Miccoli agrees Benfica loan Wednesday 31 August, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus striker Fabrizio Miccoli will play for Benfica this season after the two clubs agreed a loan deal.
The Italian international will fly out to Portugal on Wednesday to finalise terms and put pen to paper on a 12-month contract.
"It’s true, we have reached an agreement," the forward told Portuguese television station Antena 1.
"I’ll be in Lisbon later this morning. I’m very happy with the move and I will sign for one year."
Champions Juventus were hoping to substantially cash in on the player who was defined as a ‘piggy-bank’ by director general Luciano Moggi this summer.
However, they are understood to have only netted around £850,000 for the player’s loan, even if Benfica will have to pay a further £3.6m if they want to buy him outright next summer.
Miccoli, who returned to Turin after spending last season at Fiorentina, had previously rejected moves to CSKA Moscow and Portsmouth.
The Italian is the second Serie A player to join Benfica in as many days after Giorgios Karagounis left Inter for the Portuguese champions.
Another player who has quit Italy is Argentine striker Diego Milito who has joined Real Zaragoza from Genoa.
The Spaniards, who also have his brother Gabriel on their books, have secured an option to buy the player at the end of a two-year loan spell.
Milito was wanted by Inter but they viewed his proposed arrival as too expensive. The Nerazzurri are now being linked with Simone Inzaghi of Lazio and Valencia’s Marco Di Vaio.
